Two more men were confirmed dead on Saturday following the capsize of the Seacor Power oil exploration vessel earlier this week off the coast of Louisiana, bringing the death toll to four.
Officials confirmed that they had recovered the bodies of Anthony Hartford, 53, from New Orleans, and James Wallingsford, 55, from Gilbert, Louisiana.
The bodies of the two men were found inside the capsized boat by divers, according to the Coast Guard.
A man identified as Ernest Williams, 69, of Arnaudville, Louisiana, was recovered from the water on Thursday, according to the coroner’s office. David Ledet, 63, from Thibodaux, Louisiana, was found by the coast guard on Wednesday.
